I know there is a function somewhere that will accept a client rect and it will convert it into a window rect for you. I just can't find / remember it!
Does anyone know what it is?
It will do something similar to:
const CRect client(0, 0, 200, 200);
const CRect window = ClientRectToWindowRect(client);
SetWindowPos(...)
You're probably thinking of AdjustWindowRectEx()
. Keep in mind, this is intended for use when creating a window - there's no guarantee that it will produce an accurate set of window dimensions for an existing window; for that, use GetWindowRect()
.
Is this what you are looking for?

If you want to map client co-ordinates to window co-ordinates use the ClientToWindow API.
If you want to map client co-ordinates to screen co-ordinates use the ClientToScreen API.
For control reposition use:
RECT client;
::SetRect(&client, 0, 0, 200, 200);
::MapWindowPoints(hwndControl, ::GetParent(hwndControl), (POINT*)&client, 2);
::SetWindowPos(...)
